Completing The Story

How are women publicly represented in your community?

March On Canada has partnered with the grassroots initiative Completing The Story (fb.com/completingthestory) to make sure women are recognized appropriately in public places throughout our communities so that we all have a visual representation of what women leaders are and can be. These women may not have been in formal leadership roles but they have been critical to building our communities.

What can you do?

Post photos to our wall of representations from your community – statues, plaques, murals, memorials, schools, and streets, for example – as well as examples where only men are represented, and where women should or could be represented too. Post to Twitter with the hashtag #CompletingTheStory.

Describe the representation (or lack thereof) including location.

Photos and descriptions will be shared with Completing The Story in order to assemble a cross-Canada account of how women are represented in public spaces.
